Rarely, if ever, does it even hint at rain before the last week of August which is when I caught this impending storm at Capo San Vito on the beautiful northern coast west of Palermo. Some of the fantastic ruins in Salemi in the western Valle del Delia. There is a plaque commemorating Garibaldi as it was here that he proclaimed himself ruler of Sicily for the King, Vittorio Emanuele. A view out over the plain of Agira in the province of Enna. Meduse, or jellyfish can be a problem so one must be careful at the beach. You know they are there because no one is in the water and the kids are standing on the shore with their little nets trying to catch them! My friend Antonio was born in Sicilia but found work as a psychiatrist in Udine. He and his family return every summer and we often go to ARCOBALENO ristorante in nearby Lettojanni.
The restaurant is owned by a Sicilian American woman named Giuseppina who came back to Sicilia for better life (her words) after graduation from HS in Queens NY! The food is simply, OTTIMO!
